Managed with my only day off yesterday to fit the Triumph stand ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53666449251_7c55a9c004.jpg) Also welded a new lock stop on, couldnβt drill the ally yoke without losing strength ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53666449246_5ca1480ccd.jpg) Bit more tidying up and itβll be ready for powder coat Matt πΆπ»πΆ

What an absolute ball ache trying to get the outer casings for the dog bone bushes out of the swinger When i started stripping it ready for coating the inner rollers just fell out with all the rust ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53707987900_023bc9a37b_b.jpg) Thereβs virtually no lip inside to get a drift on and itβs as soft as cheese,ended up hacksawing through the pair together plenty of heat and a blind bearing puller and there out at last π± MattπΆπΆπ»

That bracket looks just the ticket, thanks Matt. Any measurements would be helpful, I have one to do later in the year.
Cheers.

Tasty. Love Brembos. Are you leaving it all gold or gently sanding the lettering back?

If I was you I would bet them milled off. The machining marks would look proper. A bit like LC wheel spokes. Also you wonβt mess it up as it will be super precise. Jon

I use a block of wood and 240 grit. But then again, I'm not very proper...
